11 years ago Andrew Reynolds was employed in the house-building industry. But tired of the demands of the corporate world, he longed for something different.
Through a chance invitation to attend a seminar in the USA he met a reclusive wealthy gentleman who showed him the basics of a system for making money working from home. Fired up, Andrew returned to the UK and immediately handed in his notice at work determined to cash in and launch a UK version of what he had seen in the States.
Working from his spare room at home, with an old pre-Pentium computer and an old printer he set about tweaking and Anglicising' what he had been shown by the American Entrepreneur.
Within a few short years his spare room' business made him a Millionaire. Within a couple more years he was a cash-rich Multi Millionaire.
In 10 years he had gone from humdrum full time job to running a business that had brought in over 30Million and being acknowledged by his peers in Surrey, by being awarded the coveted "Surrey Business Person of the Year Award" against very stiff competition.
Andrew Reynolds is now in high demand as a speaker at events for aspiring Entrepreneurs. His Home Based Business course which he appropriately calls the Cash On Demand course has become the best selling course on The Entrepreneur Channel TV station (Sky 682 or www.ec.tv)
Andrew also holds yearly events for aspiring Entrepreneurs the Entrepreneurs Bootcamp. In line with his philosophy that "I have a strong belief that as business people we should measure our effectiveness, not just by the profits we create but by how we use those profits to better the community in which we work and live" 100% of the ticket proceeds for his Bootcamp events goes straight to a children's Charity. In previous years he has raised enough cash to fund the building of a new Multi-Bed treatment room at Great Ormond Street Children's hospital. His recent Bootcamp saw close to Half a Million pounds being raised for the Make A Wish Foundation of which he is an Ambassador.
Andrew Reynolds is also a Patron of the Princes Trust and works with local charities too in his home town, using his Cash On Demand marketing techniques to pull in money for a local Hospice and a centre for the disabled.
His unique business system and his philanthropy seemed to strike a note with the judges from the Surrey Business Awards who included representatives from Deloitte, Royal Bank of Scotland, Eagle Radio, Surrey County Council, Surrey Economic Partnership, Surrey Advertiser and Business Link Surrey.
